Chapter 579: Lance: No one understands

Regarding the matter of Miraidon flying, Qingyu really wasn't talking nonsense.

In the latter part of the Scarlet and Violet DLC, Briar, one of the Blueberry Academy Elite Four, will give the protagonist a special gift after a series of events.

A special pill that allows Koraidon/Miraidon to fly permanently.

After all, they are both officially defined as Legendary Pokémon; not being able to fly is indeed a bit embarrassing.

Wouldn't you agree, XXX?

However, at the moment, Qingyu doesn't know how Briar managed to do it, so regarding the topic of "letting Miraidon learn to fly," he just said it casually and didn't take it seriously.

Patting Miraidon and simply soothing its emotions, Qingyu soon raised his head.

"Calculating the time, they should be arriving soon, right?"

In the first edition of the Pokémon Pokedex, the description of Dragonite is that "at full power, it only takes 16 hours to circle the Earth."

Converted, it has far exceeded the speed of sound, approximately Mach 2, and is also 1.5 times the Earth's rotation speed, which is very terrifying.

At Dragonite's speed, flying from Kanto to Paldea takes about 3 hours, and because it is opposite to the direction of rotation, it is even possible to outrun time; running from dawn to dusk is not impossible.

Therefore, if they set off in the morning, then when they arrive in Paldea, it should still be morning.

Inexplicably recalling the geographical memory that had been dead for many years, just as Qingyu was thinking, he saw two orange figures flash across the sky, their speed slowing down immediately while crossing the clouds, and they descended fiercely toward the ground at an exaggerated speed.

"Ying?"

Bagon, who was running around outside early in the morning to vent its energy, raised its head, its eyes instantly blooming with brilliant starlight.

A flying dragon!

Although it seems a bit different from the image in its ideal, just from the two points of having wings and being able to soar freely in the sky, it must be a very powerful dragon!

"Gao?"

Noticing the guests descending from the sky, Miraidon subconsciously narrowed its eyes.

So familiar, I always feel like I've seen it somewhere before…

It should be my illusion, right?

Qingyu also noticed the figures in the sky and immediately showed a smile.

As expected, the timing is just right.

But every time I see it, I really want to complain; is the physical fitness of humans in the Pokémon world too terrifying?

Without wearing any protective gear, riding a Dragonite to fly at supersonic speeds, and even being able to smile and reach out to greet me in the sky…

It's ridiculous!

After diving close to the ground, the speed of the two Dragonites quickly decreased rapidly like stepping on the brakes, and finally landed steadily on the ground, raising only a little dust.

"Long time no see, Qingyu."

After Lance spoke with a smile, he immediately turned around gracefully and jumped off the Dragonite, his movements incomparably skilled.

Although only about a week has passed, for Lance, who is on vacation and bored to the point of counting his fingers every day, it might indeed have been a considerable amount of time.

"We meet again, Master Yu."

Clair also greeted him.

She and Qingyu actually knew each other quite early.

Back then, after Lance swiped the video of Master Yu on PokeTV, he also forwarded it to her as study material for preparing for the Dragon-type Masters Tournament.

And at the Masters Tournament scene in Mesagoza, she, who had been eliminated early, also chatted with Qingyu a few times.

At that time, she hadn't realized that this young man, who looked very gentle and full of sunshine, would so profoundly change the battle atmosphere of the whole world in the next few months…

Thinking of this, Clair couldn't help but sigh.

If she had known earlier, she should have learned more from Qingyu at that time; it would have been considered leading the version.

However, being able to observe this famous "Tactical Master" Master Yu, who has quite a few fans all over the world, at close range, maybe she can learn some brand-new understanding from his habits?

"Long time no see, you two."

Qingyu also greeted them with a smile.

His contact with Lance is quite frequent, so they are relatively familiar with each other and can be considered good friends.

"Come in and sit down first."

Qingyu spoke, preparing to take the lead into the Sunshine Gym.

Just at this moment, Bagon, who had been staring at the two Dragonites for a long time, suddenly let out a "ying ying ying" sound, and then walked with a swaggering pace, trotting behind Lance.

More accurately, it should be beside the Dragonite.

"This one is…"

Clair noticed this cute little guy first and reacted quickly.

"Yes, it's the Pokémon egg I gave Qingyu at the time."

Lance's gaze also subconsciously looked at Bagon, and the originally tense expression relaxed a lot.

For a proud Dragon Tamer, what is more gratifying than seeing a young dragon being carefully cultivated and growing vigorously?

Salamence is a rare Pokémon first discovered in Hoenn.

Like Dragonite, they are both late bloomers, so its growth will be relatively slow during the Bagon stage.

However, as an expert in cultivating dragons, Lance could see at a glance that this Bagon's development was very good, and it was very well adapted to the living atmosphere here.

It seems that giving it to Qingyu at the time was the right decision.

Lance thought so in his heart.

"Ying!"

Bagon was not idle either; soon after arriving in front of the two Dragonites, it immediately danced with excitement, its eyes looking at the pair of small wings behind the Dragonite, its gaze full of longing.

Facing its strange performance, the Dragonite slowly tilted its head, making a question mark.

However, as one of the few good-tempered Dragon Pokémon, Clair's Dragonite soon reacted, immediately showing a smile, reaching out its short hands to hold it up and place it on its shoulder.

"It is said that Bagon naturally likes to climb to high places and longs to fly one day; it turns out to be true."

Seeing this, Clair couldn't help but sigh.

The fledgling dragon longing for flight eventually grew strong and powerful wings, becoming the famous King of the Sky in Hoenn.

This story is quite romantic.

Qingyu on the side couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he saw this.

Of course it's true, and it's far more ridiculous than Clair imagines…

If the Dragonite hadn't been holding this little guy with its hand, I'm afraid Bagon would have already started to store power, preparing to perform a "high-altitude flying dragon."

"It seems that Master Yu will also be an excellent Dragon Tamer in the future."

Seeing Bagon so energetic, the smile on Lance's mouth grew even stronger, and he couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

At the same time, he didn't forget the ultimate goal of his trip to Paldea—

Dragons!

"Speaking of dragons… I've long heard from Master Yu that Paldea is home to all kinds of Dragon-type Pokémon, and I hope to have the opportunity to see them this time."

Lance changed the subject and got to the point.

Last time he came to Mesagoza to participate in the Masters Tournament, although he had heard that Paldea had a rich variety of Pokémon, he didn't have time to see them due to the schedule.

Originally, Lance didn't take the matter of discovering new Dragon-type Pokémon to heart.

After all, his lineup reserves were already sufficient, and he shouldn't need to cultivate other Pokémon for the time being.

However, several things that happened recently soon gave him a sense of crisis.
